LOVE camp fires and home fires and smores.. We have started recycling toilet paper rolls and the lint from the dryer...We stuff the lint into the cardboard paper towel holder and then put it in a grocery plastic bag for storage.. when it gets full we store it with the firewood and our camping supplies.. We always stuff at least two in the fire with our kindling to start fires.. Its like steel wool, flamable and it works great, plus who would have known to recycle dryer lint for flint starters?

1. Dryer Lint - Believe it or not, the lint that collects in your dryer actually makes a powerful , long-burning fire starter. Just collect the lint, place it beneath a pile of logs & kindling in the fireplace, & you’ve got an instant flame. While all types of lint will do the trick, cotton, wool, & linen fabrics do not produce excess odor or smoke. You’ll never have to buy fire starter logs or fluid again!2. Broken Plates - While you might not be able to eat off your broken china, (con't)432
